Investments grow on a tax-deferred basis. Earnings are taxed only upon withdrawal. We offer Contributory, Rollover, Conduit, and Spousal plans. Untaxed Traditional IRA assets are now generally permitted to be rolled over into a qualified retirement plan (employer plan).

If you own multiple IRAs and frequently move assets between those IRAs, be aware that the IRS has changed the rules
that limit the number of rollovers you can complete within one year.

You are limited to only one IRA rollover per 12-month period, regardless of the number of IRAs you own. The 12-month period begins the day you receive the IRA distribution. Keep in mind that this 12-month rollover rule applies only to IRA-to-IRA rollovers and does not apply to your employer-sponsored retirement plan rollovers or to rollovers between employer-sponsored retirement plans and IRAs. In addition, this rule does not apply to IRA transfers (the direct movement of IRA assets to another IRA). This means that you still can complete an unlimited number of IRA transfers during any period because you do not have access to the assets.

Roth and Traditional IRAs will be aggregated for purposes of this one-per-taxpayer limitation. "Traditional" IRAs include simplified employee pension (SEP) plan accounts and savings incentive match plan for employees of small employers (SIMPLE) IRAs. If you receive a distribution and subsequently roll over the amount from either type of IRA, you will be disqualified from completing a subsequent rollover for 12 months. For example, if you take a distribution from your Roth IRA on January 15, 2015, and roll over the amount to another Roth IRA within 60 days, you cannot roll over another distribution from any Roth, SIMPLE, or Traditional IRA that you may own until January 15, 2016.

The new rollover limitation does not include Roth IRA conversions. For example, if you take a distribution from your Traditional
IRA in 2015 and deposit the amount into a Roth IRA within 60 days, that is considered a conversion and the 12-month rollover rule does not apply.

60-Day Rule Applies

You have 60 days from the date you receive IRA assets to roll them over to either the same IRA or another IRA. Be sure to complete your rollover before the 60th day if the 60th day falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday, as there is no extension to complete a rollover.

Changing Jobs or Retiring
Preserve the tax-favored status of your employer retirement plan savings by rolling over the money to an IRA. The best way to roll retirement plan
dollars to an IRA is via a "direct rollover." By rolling over your retirement savings from an employer-sponsored plan directly to an IRA, you will avoid the mandatory 20% income tax withholding as well as any early distribution penalty tax. Contact your employer plan administrator or IRA Services
at Star One for instructions on how to move your retirement funds.

Rollovers From an Employer Plan
An individual may roll over funds from an employer-sponsored retirement plan to an IRA. An eligible employer-sponsored retirement plan is an IRC Sec.
401 (a) or 403(a) qualified retirement plan (QRP), a tax-sheltered annuity (403(b) plan), or a governmental 457(b) plan. Individuals may either directly
or indirectly roll over assets from an employer retirement plan to an IRA.

Direct Rollover
A direct rollover is a rollover distribution that is paid directly to another employer retirement plan or IRA for the benefit of the individual
taking the distribution. The mandatory 20% withholding that generally applies to retirement plan rollover distributions does not apply if the
distribution is directly rolled over from the retirement plan to the IRA.

Indirect Rollover
An indirect rollover occurs when the individual receives a distribution (e.g., a check is payable to the employee) from an employer retirement
plan and, within 60 days, rolls the distribution into an IRA or another qualified employer retirement plan. The employer is required to withhold
20% of the distribution as a prepayment of income tax.

An individual may roll over 100% of the rollover distribution amount, including the 20% that the administrator of the plan withheld. With that
option, an individual will have to make up the 20% tax withholding out of their pocket. An individual may choose to roll over only the 80% actually
received; however, the withheld 20% of the distribution should be included in their taxable income for the year. If they are under age 59½, they
may incur a 10% early distribution penalty on the 20% withholding as well.

Beneficiary Rollover
Non-spouse beneficiaries may directly rollover inherited employer-sponsored retirement plan assets to inherited IRAs. (Consult a tax advisor with
questions regarding these types of transactions.) A spouse beneficiary has the added benefit by of treating the inherited IRA funds as their own,
and can transfer or rollover the funds to their own IRA plan.

Rollover to a Traditional IRA
Any pre-tax retirement savings that is rolled over to a Traditional IRA is not subject to income taxes, nor does it trigger tax penalties for an early
withdrawal. Assets remain in a tax-deferred plan with a Traditional IRA.

Rollover to a Roth IRA
There is an option to rollover employer-sponsored retirement plan assets to a Roth IRA instead of a Traditional IRA. With this transaction, an individual
is converting pre-tax retirement savings into after-tax savings. This transaction is not a tax-free transaction; the taxable amount of your plan rollover
is included in income for the year. However, once the money is in a Roth IRA, it is never taxed again. And if an individual takes a qualified distribution
from the Roth IRA, any earnings that have accrued can be taken out tax-free. If an individual has stopped working and has earned less income for the year,
they might be in a lower tax bracket and rolling over pre-tax retirement plan assets to a Roth IRA may be a good move in such a year.

Be sure to seek financial or tax advice before you rollover assets into another plan to ensure you have considered your best options.
